Design Overview
Our compact TRACTOR, a.k.a. the "RoEd Runner," fits within a 30x30x30 cm cube. Constructed from laser cut Duron, the body consists of three tiers to make use of vertical space. The bot's main components are (1) the drive system, (2) the IR sensing system, (3) the MINER acquisition system, and (4) the bumpers. It also includes features for mounting relevant electronic components.
